Now, one quick question for you. Where can you purchase the Silix case?

Another practice dial, the lume still isn't great but I think it's gradually improving

Apparently my wife has left these crystals outside overnight to get charged up by the moonlight and then use them to emit positive energy throughout the house,
Don't know about that but they make a nice background for my 7922

It's not as nice as yours but this is my attempt with a decal dial and a tiger v3 case

My second attempt at a decal dial came out better,I think it's as good as my skills will allow for the moment.
Thanks again@Bart Cordell for your template, help and advice

I have no Photoshop skills whatsoever,I just printed straight from Bart's template,when it comes to making the font thinner or changing anything that is well above my pay grade but the dial will do while I search for something better
Looks like a good start. IMO the text is a little too big and fat. I believe that template came from Phong's dial, which has the fonts of the Tudor service dials, so it would have white/silver text in the wild.
I think the random eBay dials are closer to the original; here is a pic that could be used to make a very accurate template. And another pic from a gen dial--interesting that some actually had the dagger marker overlapping the rose.
I might try a template soon, I have the Photoshop skills. Bart mentioned the Tudor dial would be tough and I agree, the script is extremely fine and the rose has almost microscopic detail.

The dial came out ok but my lume skills are crap
Sent from my Lenovo P2a42 using Tapatalk -
This one looks like it's going to be ok,once it's dry tomorrow but will varnish it and then lume

My first decal suffered a bit of shrinkage on one side so the chapter ring was oval not round,I think it's because I dried it too quickly,this one I will leave to dry at room temperature for 24 hours and hope it turns out better
Sent from my Lenovo P2a42 using Tapatalk -
Waiting for my first attempt to dry,I've practiced doing the lume on about 20 odd dials on plain paper, hopefully this will be nice

I've been churning out dials like a factory trying to get it just right, I've made about 20 now, I think I'm getting close
